     Our thanks go to the State Baseball Committee, led by Jason Woodward, for working tirelessly throughout the season and post-season to provide a first class tournament experience for the participants.  Our appreciation goes out to the four state semifinal sites and site directors as well as to the staff at Ripken Stadium for the use of their terrific facility.  We cannot wait to see what next season will bring.  Best wishes for a safe and relaxing summer to all!
